It's still the same man working compositions duties as on Anabelas (Daniel Andreoli), who also joins in on bass. All the other band members are new; all young musicians, too, so we won't have to worry about any tired-sounding "dad prog" vibes. LOL

If you haven't heard their recent EP, Resplandor, I'd recommend it. Nothing as wildly extravagant as Anabelas, but it's a great collection of tunes nonetheless, and leaves me optimistic for what a full length album would hold. Very much in the same hectic, eclectic, jazz-heavy style. I think that they've actually premiered some of the new album material during their recent live shows, so some of it may even be on youtube.

The new album In The Passing Light Of Day is just out, so I bought a copy, gave it an intense listen, and here's my reaction:

My Godness, the new Oldfield album is amazingly BEAUTIFUL, when i heard the glockenspiel in the beginning a tear fell of my eye, really remember the former Ommadawn, and i think that from a couple more listen it will become a masterpiece by my ears just like the three first albums from this genius :)

I'm a bit more vanilla but Soen's new album sounds amazing from the snippets, and Tool might, maybe, could be, potentially releasing this year.

Looking forward to new albums from Krokofant (to be released next month), Motorpsycho (with new drummer Tomas Järmyr (Yodok, Yodok III, Zu), to be released sometime in the fall) and Møster! (rumoured to be released in March, but I haven't seen anything official yet, but that should come very soon, if the rumours are correct), as well as the just released debut album from Reflections in Cosmo (Ståle Storløkken (Humcrush, Supersilent, Elephant9), Thomas Strønen (Humcrush, Needlepoint), Hans Magnus Ryan (Motorpsycho, Møster!) and Kjetil Møster (Ultralyd, Møster!)) (waited for this since I saw them live back in '15, potentially album of the year right there!).

Haven't received yet. I've read that it's a truly ambient one a la 'Thursday Afternoon' and 'Lux' (both fantastic) but probably not a good place to start.

Give a try to :

1. Another Green World (song-based mostly)
2. Music for Airports (ambient)
3. My Life in the Bush of Ghosts (exp. world. electro.)
4. Nerve Net (crazy stuff, man. 6/5)
5. Small Craft on a Milk Sea (ambient. exp. electro.)

Have fun.

Looking forward to new albums and stuff from these fellow norwegians:

New Wobbler album
The Chronicles of Father Robin
Ingelrii
Weserbergland
White Willow

And there will be at least two releases from Tusmørke, where one of them is an album for children. And my band Jordsjø will release three or four new tapes. So there is a lot going on in the vast forests of Norway these days...

The only 2017 album I've heard so far is the debut by This Winter Machine, a Neo-prog outfit from the north of England.  My first listen indicated this was a band of promise.  Not the most original or inspiring, but nicely played and well worth further listens.

I just scored me a super new Karda Estra INFERNAL SPHERES album, complete with a passel of horn players this time including bass clarinet and the mighty bass trombone. I think Richard will really be sounding out the abyssal depths with those and I'm, like, totally stoked.

I preordered Ayreon- The Source    The grapevine reports,  it's more guitar driven then past Ayreon albums.   I adore the Ayreon formula, however I'd like to see Ayreon progress beyond Arjen's comfort zone.

I'm looking forward to Barock Project's new album.    After the success of Skyline, BP aggressively shifted into overdrive, hightailing toward the checkered flag.    So, the lead singer bowed out, deciding to pursue other goals.  
"Tiger Moth Tales" composer, lead singer, and multi-instrumentalist Pete Jones ( toured recently with Camel), co-wrote 3 songs and sings lead on two.  Meanwhile  keyboardist Luca Zabbini , pianist, and composer adds lead singer to his resume.  

Can Steven Wilson keep the streak alive? I'm guessing he'll release his new album around Oct-Nov.

For several years in a row, an Italian band I've never heard of has seduced me.  Something's in the water besides gondolas.   It seems Italian bands are benefiting from record companies who aggressively promote, distribute, and support the local talent.   I'd like to see a resident RPI expert wax prosaically on the new Italian Wave.     

PS- Crossing my fingers 2017 will  be the year Phideaux releases Infernal.

Thanks for the tip, did not know about this. Interesting to see side-long pieces this time rather than their usual short compositions.

I saw them live when Gabe Serbian was on drums and they kicked unfeasible amounts of arse. Indeed they were all about that! I'd take it from the House of Mythology blurb that the approach here is gonna have considerably more light and shade.

Just got my hands on Chalice Hymnal myself and I agree with you; very beautiful album verging on the serene. I rather dig their newly found electronic palette - a thing I believe got implemented after 2014s Watter collab. Quite a few similarities between the two.

Oh and thanks for the heads up on the coming Zu album Audun!

I listened to the Grails album and found it to be a bit boring, to be honest.
My favourite of the few 2017 albums I've checked so far is Noveller - A Pink Sunset for No One. A very easy listen.

Yeah, saw it on spotify recently and gave it a listen and it is surprisingly solid. I'll try to pick up a physical copy soon.

Thinking Plague

Just listened to Hopeless Hopes. They are very deep RIO so I still need several listens to form a complete opinion of it, but I have had a hard time with their albums after In This Life . That album was just so bloody amazing, they never really recaptured that magic.

And its Hoping Against Hope....as the dozens of ad banners continue to tell me. Hopeless Hopes is a Martyr album. 

Someday I'll get something right the first time.

I love the way banner ads work, advertising something I've just bought as if I'm going to rush out and buy a second one. It is rather nice the Thinking Plague ads though, kind of odd.

Though not prog in any way I still am very much looking forward to the new Fleet Foxes album. Not quite sure how they're ever going to top Helplessness Blues but I'm excited like a young wasp to hear them try.

I'd like a new Magma album please.
Maybe throw in some albums from The Future Kings Of England, NIL, Gadi Caplan, Ut Gret, elephant9 and Homunculus Res

I'm usually leery of the 1 album 70's Italian bands "resurrecting" for a new album, but the new Maxophone is an early AOTY pick for me.

^ I've only heard good things about it so far, so the new Maxophone is certainly in the queue for new albums for me to check out.

Here's a new discovery tonight that I'm really digging:

Some of the best psychedelic jamming I've heard in a while!

I recall listening to these guys years ago and being very underwhelmed. But this album is straight diggum smacks! Will have to revisit some of their older stuff to see if my perception has changed.

^ However, the new Gevende appears to be vinyl or download only. Shame as that means I probably won't get it.
